My grandma showed me this recipe years ago and I absolutely loved it. The best part about this cake is that it is very easy and fast to make, especially fun, you need to try it!

Ingredients.
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
Preparation.
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10×15-inch cake pan.
Step 2.
Combine butter, water, and cocoa powder for cake in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter has melted and mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
Step 3.
Meanwhile, mix flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Beat buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.
Step 4.
Add melted butter mixture to the flour mixture, then add buttermilk-egg mixture and beat until thoroughly combined. Pour into the prepared cake pan.
Step 5.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove cake from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Step 6.
Meanwhile, combine butter, milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract for the frosting in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until butter melts, then stir in powdered sugar. Spread frosting over the warm cake.
